IberiaBank hosted the formal “Odyssey Ball” at the New Orleans Museum of Art on Saturday, November 9, 2013. The black-tie affair featured three different areas of entertainment and a raffle for a $15,000 shopping spree at Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry. Celebrating photography at NOMA, guests had the opportunity to wander about the museum and view the pieces of the city’s artistic legacy while munching on delicious edibles and sipping on delectable libations.

Chaired by Marilee and Andrew Hovet, the evening included dancing to the dulcet sounds of Luv Sexy and Anais St. John. Sports fans and college enthusiasts needed not miss that evening’s LSU versus Alabama game, as a viewing tent was set up on the grounds. The event also included a notable silent auction, with deluxe items such as a South African safari experience, a visit to California wine country, a stay at the Plaza Hotel and shopping spree at Bergdorf Goodman, a private event at NOMA for 12 with chef Rob Faust and much more.
